Fixed Length File SFTP Import

Lisa Callahan

I have a 100 byte fixed length txt file that I need to SFTP into Birst. There are no headers in the file. When I add it to do a quick upload as a test, I receive an error that I need at least two columns to import.

I was hoping I could import the file as is (with one column) and then parse it later in Prepare.

I am totally new to the whole SFTP thing so any advice (and or different approaches) would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Lisa

Hi Lisa,

To me this looks like a known behavior - whenever I have uploaded a file by drag&drop, Birst has always required

1. A header line
2. At least two columns

Best,
